The difficulties of managing severe hepatitis B virus reactivation
@article{Roche2011TheDO, title={The difficulties of managing severe hepatitis B virus reactivation}, author={Bruno Roche and Didier Samuel}, journal={Liver International}, year={2011}, volume={31} }
Reactivation of hepatitis B is characterized by a sudden increase in hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication in a patient with prior evidence of resolved or inactive HBV infection. Although HBV reactivation can occur spontaneously, it usually occurs after chemotherapy, immunosuppression (organ transplantation) or an alteration in immune function (therapy for autoimmune disease, human immunodeficiency virus infection). The clinical presentation cases can vary, ranging from a subclinical…
